Projects supported by the HEC Fund
Students' cafeteria
Thanks to the 2017-2018 Assoc' (Alpha) donation at the 2018 Proclamation Ceremony as well as funding from ARI, we were able to renew the furniture in the Student Cafeteria.
Scholarships/travel
The Fund also offers scholarships to students to finance their participation in competitions abroad.
Hackathon - Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
At the end of January 2019, our students participated in the Hackathon - Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning at Paris-Dauphine University. This event, organized by the House of Finance and the QMI Chair, was open to all Finance and Artificial Intelligence students / young graduates under 27 years old.
Our 3 students, A. Petitjean, A. Peis and R. Laforet, brilliantly finished at the 6th place out of 17 during the first round, and were thus selected for the second round, the next day. Unfortunately, they could not compete in the second round, which was more oriented towards artificial intelligence, mathematics and coding.
CFA Challenge BENELUX
Since 2019, HEC Liège has already won the CFA Challenge Benelux 4 times.
The Fund is supporting 5 students accompanied by their professor, Marie Lambert, to take part in the competition in Belgium and the Netherlands. To win, participants had to write a research report on a private sector company and defend it in front of a panel of financial analysts.
A stimulating university experience
New building
Since May 2022, students and staff have been able to enjoy a new passive building with 6 classrooms, open spaces and state-of-the-art meeting rooms.
Installation of outdoor benches
4 outdoor benches were installed in front of the new building in April 2023.
Cycles of major conferences Jean Rey
Thanks to the donation of the asbl Club Universitaire Réformes et Liberté (CURL) and in particular the Jean Rey Prize Committee, HEC Liège and the Faculty of Law, Political Science and Criminology, have organized 4 cycles of major European Jean Rey lectures between 2015 and 2019.
These cycles of lectures are organized mainly for students of the University of Liege, the Hautes Ecoles and the Rhetoric of the Liege region, but also for the general public. It tends to sensitize these various people to the need to continue the European integration to which Jean Rey contributed a lot.
We think in particular of Mr. Robert Planchar who was at the initiative of this project.
With the support of:
Mr. Melchior Wathelet
Minister of State and 1st Advocate General Emeritus at the Court of Justice of the European Union
Mr. Louis Michel,
Minister of State and Member of the European Parliament
Mr. Jean-Pascal Labille
General Secretary of the Union nationale des Mutualités Socialistes
We thank the Reforms and Freedoms University Club for its support and valuable collaboration.
